If I were my own on-air partner, I think the banter would be much wittier. Although we'd have no one to humiliate. Hmm. - Beaner, 30, aging radio personality herd2

herd3 Cloning of humans would require some fundamental reorientations on issues of identity. Opening up such spaces of indeterminacy is bound to benefit my career(s). - Lisa, 36, Lawyer and disciplinarian

My sister Jessie and I were talking the other night about how much we miss Johnny Carson. We've already written letters of enquiry to several geneticists in hopes of bringing his charming smile back to television. - Clara, 72, retired army captain herd4

herd5 Few people are aware of this, but Benjamin Franklin patented a cloning system that uses the technology of the printing press to reproduce living beings through their collected wit and wisdom. I hold that these so-called 'geneticists' are focusing too much on the bottle and not enough on the beer, if you follow me. - Sam, 49, brewer, patriot

I love the way that cloning technology promises to address the two issues of selfishness and unwanted children with such an elegant solution. - Charlie, 39, counselor herd6
